Buying Selling Shares when markets closed


Recommended Posts

Hi, 
As we now have Easter holidays, I was wondering how shares are executed for London Stock Exchange and NYSE?
I've noticed that NYSE has pre-market and post market offerings, does this only apply to week days and not weekends/holidays?
If yes, then I suppose I cannot place a market order but a limit order in these periods instead and order is queued, when and at what price it it executed ? 

Will the same apply for LSE?

Sorry about all the questions, but thanks in advance.

Hi, yes IG shuts all markets at 10pm tonight with most opening Sunday evening. You can put an order in before market open but over any weekend and especially a long weekend you will likely get slippage (maybe even in your favour). (see hours link below). With current market uncertainty and volatility probably very risky though the weekend indices will open on Saturday if needing a hedge.

Hi, Thanks Caseynotes. If an order is placed pre or post market periods, does it get executed immediately at the current price (on yahoo I can see pre or post prices for US stock) ?

Hi, if I remember correctly the pre and post periods on the exchange are for institutional orders but IG makes their own market with many of the larger US stocks providing extended hours for those marked 'All Sessions'.

The thing is that with near 200,000 clients IG is big enough to constantly gauge buy/sell interest and so are able to provide a weekend market.

200,000 retail punters versus one or two big institutions or a central bank - no contest.

Hi,

If I am trading in stocks (equity)  as a swing trader (1-5 days) in normal hours and set my stops (limit and loss), and left them open overnight can they trigger in out of hours (pre/post markets) ? 
 

Is this the normal thing to do when buying / selling equity as during out of hours stocks can become a lot more volatile and pose more risk?

Thanks

    • Here are some general tips that may help you in your crypto trading endeavors: 1. Educate Yourself: Gain a solid understanding of how cryptocurrency markets work, including technical analysis, chart patterns, fundamental analysis, and market indicators. Continuously educate yourself about the latest trends and developments in the cryptocurrency space. 2. Develop a Trading Strategy: Define a clear trading strategy based on your goals, risk tolerance, and time commitment. This strategy should include entry and exit points, stop-loss orders, and profit targets. Stick to your strategy and avoid making impulsive decisions based on emotions. 3. Start with a Demo Account: Many exchanges, including Bitget, offer demo accounts or simulated trading environments. Use these features to practice your trading strategies without risking real money. It allows you to gain experience and assess the effectiveness of your approach. 4. Use Proper Risk Management: Set a risk management plan that includes determining the amount of capital you're willing to risk per trade. Avoid risking too much of your capital on a single trade. Consider using stop-loss orders to limit potential losses. 5. Technical Analysis: Learn how to analyze price charts and identify patterns and trends that can help you make informed trading decisions. Use technical indicators and tools to assist you in your analysis. 6. Stay Informed: Stay updated with news and events that can impact the cryptocurrency markets. Follow reliable sources, join cryptocurrency communities, and pay attention to announcements related to the cryptocurrencies you trade. 7. Start Small and Gradually Increase: It's generally advisable to start with a small amount of capital and gradually increase your position size as you gain experience and confidence in your trading abilities. 8. Control Emotions: Emotions can impact trading decisions. Avoid making impulsive trades based on fear or greed. Stick to your trading plan and remain disciplined. 9. Consider Diversification: Diversify your cryptocurrency portfolio to spread the risk. Investing in a variety of cryptocurrencies can help mitigate potential losses if one particular asset underperforms. 10. Continuous Learning and Adaptation: The cryptocurrency market is highly dynamic, so it's crucial to continuously learn and adapt your trading strategies. Stay open to new ideas and adjust your approach as per market conditions.
    • Analysts have noted a historical correlation between crypto prices and the stock market, particularly in relation to interest rate decisions. Post FOMC decision witness Bitcoin’s price showed little change drop to about 0.17% on the day while other crypto like the Bitget BGB recorded a mild gain. Crypto market analyst TXMC has warned of a potential recession in 2024 due to tight credit conditions, which could influence both stock and Bitcoin prices.
    • If that's the case, then I believe the next step is for the dev team to create an in-app EVM wallet that can process payment natively for PayPal users who wishes to use the stablecoin for transaction on the platform
